This is the laser star projector that displayed the crispest, clearest simulation of a night sky and was easiest to operate in side-by-side tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Analysts praised this model's lasers for their sharp output of bright, moving green stars that far outshone the hazier output of lesser projectors. Suited for a relaxing evening show at the end of a day or for lulling a child to sleep, the projector creates a mesmerizing personal universe on walls and ceilings. Unlike lesser units with fixed heads, this projector can be precisely angled for maximum cosmic effect. It also projects a swirling blue nebulae which can be adjusted for intensity or shut off, as well as an occasional shooting star. A quiet integral fan prevents overheating during the recommended four-hour run time. For best results, project on white surfaces in pitch darkness. Plugs into AC. 11" H x 10" W x 9" D. (4 lbs.)

Have only had this a few days so I cannot comment on the durability of the product, but the display is absolutely gorgeous. Sharp and crisp "stars" with nice motion. The blue cloud "nebula" is a nice touch. Yes, the "stars" are green laser lights, but the use of a green laser is necessary to keep it affordable. No, they are not renditions of the actual constellations, but their movement is mesmerizing. The effect is excellent!

The product is easy to use but since there is a laser involved, it needs to be used responsibly. The quality is great. It would be even better if you had more than one "scene". This one has the moving stars and you can add a cloud-like pattern on top of it. Would love to have more add-ons for this to change it up. I gave this to my son for the holidays. He loves it
